The network of cycle paths grows every year in Gironde.

Today, nearly 600 km of trails (including 300 km of departmental trails) lead walkers to the coast, in the Bordeaux metropolitan area, through vineyards or natural spaces. Built mainly on their own site, they ensure total security.

Between the river and the Atlantic coast, here we don’t joke with the good things: a gastronomy with multiple refinements drawn from local products, internationally renowned wine appellations, a quality architectural heritage, a coastline bordered by long sandy beaches and forests.

This is undoubtedly why Gironde is among the leading cycling destinations in France, with 500 km of car-free trails and almost as many developments in urban areas. The coastline is now completely covered with cycle paths from Pointe de Grave to Arcachon, an integral part of the Eurovéloroute 1. Beautiful surprises to also discover inside.
You can consult the Gironde cycle path maps on the website of the Departmental Tourism Committee.

Horse riding in the Médoc

Between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, come and discover the tip of the Médoc, its history, its curiosities, its fauna and flora in multiple colors worthy of the little Camargue of Bordeaux.

A land of contrast, the Médoc is fascinating, it offers a total change of scenery; to the east we move between dikes and polders, duck barrels and fishing nets, so-called “matte” marshes, cultivated land whose level is lower than that of the sea. To the west, its ocean side which offers us more than 40 km of passable beaches then, these tidy vineyards, which border the river make the Médoc this diamond known worldwide for its great wines.
